Gods Standard of Righteousness

WRONG

The righteousness of the law is found in perfect obedience.

God sees his blood. Not our obedience.

Your filthy rags will be rejected by God as just that. Filthy rags.

Look to the spirit and stop looking to the law and trying to drag everyone down to self righteousness with you

That was good.Ty

The Spirit Is willing but the flesh Is weak.

Paul wrote In
Romans 7:20-23
King James Version

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

There are three parts of the Law of Moses, the moral Law -- the Ten Commandments, the civil Law, and the sacrificial Law. The apostle Paul tells us "the Law was our schoolmaster that points us to Christ." .

There are three parts of the Law of Moses, the moral Law -- the Ten Commandments, the civil Law, and the sacrificial Law.

I think it is more accurate to say there are two laws in the world: the laws governing the kingdom of heaven and the laws governing the kingdoms of the world.

God gave man the law of Moses, it was the heavenly law made flesh. There were fleshly commands and fleshly rewards. When Christ came, Christ brought in the law of heaven. We are to choose between the laws of our temporary worldly life and the laws of our heavenly eternal life. We are told to obey the worldly laws all we can, but if there is a conflict then our true kingdom is in heaven and we are to choose those laws.

Choosing these laws instead of worldly laws is not easy at all. We are told that one day we must give up our worldly life to being murdered, even, if we choose God's ways. Sometimes, today, it sometimes means giving up that new car so we can have something to give to those who are hungry.

Christ gave these laws to us, the four gospels are full of them. We are told we can't do this because we are human, but we are to live in a state of repentance. We are only asked to truly want to obey these laws, and Christ forgives so we have eternal life always.

Actually there are possibly ten parts to the Law of Moses:
1. Laws pertaining to the tabernacle and temple.
2. Laws pertaining to the priests.
3. Laws pertaining to the Levites.
4. Laws pertaining to the sacrifices and offerings.
5. Laws pertaining to the feasts, festivals, and holy days.
6. Moral and civil laws.
7. Criminal laws.
8. Dietary laws.
9. Laws for kings and warfare.
10. The Ten Commandments

The law, for the believer who knows that he knows that he knows that he is justified through faith in the blood of Christ, and not by the works of the law, the law becomes a set of wisdom principles and is no longer a condemning taskmaster.

Whereas, if we sought to be justified by the law, we would be required to keep the whole of it perfectly from conception into eternity...if we know that we have been justified through faith in Jesus' blood, we are set free to be able to look into the perfect law of liberty and to continue in it (James 1:25); and thereby be blessed.

While there is a curse on those who seek to be justified by the law (Galatians 3:10),

Those who obey the commandments out of love for Jesus (John 14:15, 15:10) are truly blessed.

Because we will have the blessing that comes with walking according to wisdom as opposed to living as a fool.

Are you saying that we don't have to be obedient in the faith, e-g?

Sounds to me like a Once Saved Always Saved thing! In other words, it doesn't matter what you do now that you're saved.

Rev 19:8, And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Mat 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Jesus' blood does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9). It also sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

While I will agree that we are justified by His blood.

God looks down on us and sees the blood and the imputed righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ when He looks down on those who have placed their faith and trust in Him.

We have an unshakable identity in Christ....that we are righteous....even when we blow it (Romans 4:5).

Romans 7:14-25 is speaking of the law of sin and death which we are set free from when we submit to the law of the Spirit of life through faith in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2).

It is Paul using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION to define carnality 9Romans 7:14) in order that he might win the carnal person. He becomes as weak in order that he might gain the weak (1 Corinthians 9:22).

That Paul is not actually carnal when he pens this is evident in that he is penning holy scripture. For it is written in 2 Peter 1:20-21 that holy scripture comes about when holy men of God are inspired by the Holy Ghost to speak or write what has been written.

Some will accuse you of being a legalist for what you have said. THEY ARE WRONG!!!

What you have stated is the TRUTH!

We don't work to get saved, we work because we are saved.

Can you show me where I said we are free to sin all we want?



Sounds to me like a water down the law thing. You can sin all you want as long as you do not commit the pet sins. and your ok if you just say your sorry.

Either way, Thank you for proving me right about you. Had you pegged awhile ago.

With Christ having fulfilled the Law, by faith in Him the Law is fulfilled in us.

Christ told us that all the Law and prophets are fulfilled in two commandments,

Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind, and to love thy neighbor as thyself.

With faith in Christ these commandments will be carried out in the believers life by surrendering our lives to Him and letting Him live that life through us.

This is the challenge I face, denying myself and letting Christ have His way.

And you are right, it's not easy to do being in this fallen condition.
